Alexandria, VA - June 18, 2010
In response to the CVS Caremark-Walgreens agreement announced today that keeps Walgreens pharmacies in the CVS Caremark network, the National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA) issued the following statement from Arlington, Texas pharmacy owner and NCPA President Joseph H. Harmison, PD: "The merger of retail chain CVS and giant pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) Caremark has resulted in broken promises, restricted patient choice, stifled pharmacy competition and allegations of higher costs and violated patient privacy. The CVS Caremark-Walgreens standoff that necessitated the agreement announced today provided fresh evidence of these problems and illustrated their scope. "A 7,000 store, Fortune 50 mega-chain felt compelled to pull out—albeit temporarily—to force CVS Caremark to recognize these issues. That speaks volumes as to the outsized influence that the CVS Caremark chain-PBM behemoth is exerting on the patient's ability to choose their pharmacist and on competition from independent pharmacies and other rivals with less leverage than Walgreens. "The limited information available about the financial agreement announced today leaves many questions unanswered. Has CVS Caremark agreed to admit Walgreens pharmacies and patients into its highly restricted 'Maintenance Choice' network? Is this simply a band-aid solution to help CVS Caremark get through the current pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) selling season without addressing more fundamental problems? Or did Walgreens simply cave in and agree to typical CVS Caremark terms? "The U.S. Federal Trade Commission's competition and privacy bureaus and at least 24 states and municipalities are investigating CVS Caremark regarding the many anticompetitive, anti-consumer complaints lodged by patients, Members of Congress and independent community pharmacists. NCPA will continue to work to support these and other investigations in the hopes the regulators will see the need to implement meaningful changes to protect the patient's choice of pharmacy and to restore meaningful pharmacy competition. "While CVS Caremark is by far the worst offender, this episode illustrates the need for regulation of the PBM industry more broadly. H.R. 5234, the PBM Audit Reform and Transparency Act of 2010, would protect the patient's choice of pharmacy, discourage abusive pharmacy auditing practices, and require greater PBM disclosure with patients and plan sponsors to root out costly middlemen markups. Further, Congress should grant independent pharmacies greater ability, such as through H.R. 1204, to collectively negotiate PBM contracts as Walgreens did today for its 7,000 pharmacies."
The National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA®) represents America's community pharmacists, including the owners of more than 22,700 independent community pharmacies, pharmacy franchises, and chains. Together they represent an $88 billion health-care marketplace, employ over 65,000 pharmacists, and dispense over 40% of all retail prescriptions.

ProductsThe Art of Deception
Focusing on the human factors involved with information security, Mitnick explains why all the firewalls and encryption protocols in the world will never be enough to stop a savvy grifter intent on rifling a corporate database or an irate employee determined to crash a system. With the help of many fascinating true stories of successful attacks on business and government, he illustrates just how susceptible even the most locked-down information systems are to a slick con artist impersonating an IRS agent. Narrating from the points of view of both the attacker and the victims, he explains why each attack was so successful and how it could have been prevented in an engaging and highly readable style reminiscent of a true-crime novel. And, perhaps most importantly, Mitnick offers advice for preventing these types of social engineering hacks through security protocols, training programs, and manuals that address the human element of security.
[ more information ]
Art of Intrusion
With riveting "you are there" descriptions of real computer break-ins,
indispensable tips on countermeasures security professionals need to implement
now, and Mitnick's own acerbic commentary on the crimes he describes, this book
is sure to reach a wide audience-and attract the attention of both law enforcement
agencies and the media.

SchoolNet Namibia promotes OSS with comics
If you want to promote the use of open source software, you might like this innovative approach out of Africa – comic strips.
The not-for-profit group SchoolNet Namibia [1] learned the hard way that narrowing the digital divide is not done simply by providing schools in developing countries with computers running open source software and some basic training. When trainers left the schools after the two-month training period, most of the computers collected dust, mainly because the teachers – mostly women – would not use them. To remedy the situation, SchoolNet Namibia, in cooperation with the comic artists of Strika Entertainment [2], The Namibian newspaper [3], and the Johannesburg-based South African Linux distributor OpenLab International [4], launched "Hai Ti!", a comic strip that recently turned two years old. The comic strip title means "Listen up!" in the Namibian language Oshiwambo.

I know almost nothing about Flash or Powerpoint. I was given a Flash presentation I need that I'd like to show at meetings using my new wireless remote, but I can't get it to move forward & backward between slides (works fine using arrow keys on the laptop keyboard - Windows XP Pro). The remote works fine with Powerpoint presentations, so I know the remote is ok. Is there some setting/command I need to allow my Flash presentation to work with my remote, or do I need a special remote? I already talked to the remote tech support (Keyspan/TrippLite) and they were totally unfamiliar wirh Flash and simply said that their unit works with Powerpoint as advertised, which was true, but they couldn't help me with Flash presentations. Can anyone out there help me?? Thanks very much!
Can you map the keyspan remote to the keyboard's arrow keys?
Hi, and thanks so much for responding! I have the Keyspan PR-EZ1 and I don't think it allows me to "map" keys since when I called their tech support, they didn't mention that as an option. I'm really new at this, but I just noticed - as I was sitting right here on my browser earlier, I pressed the remote's slide-changing keys and my web page scrolled up and down! Just now I tried it and my insertion point cursor moved up and down! So I guess these buttons must be "mapped" to the up and down arrows. How nice it would be if I could somehow figure out how to switch them to the left and right arrows. A colleague of mine told me just an hour or so ago that when she bought her Logitech wireless remote, it had the same problem with Flash presentations. But one day, out of the blue, it "fixed" itself and now does Flash fine. (I didn't ask her if it still does Powerpoint though.) She has no idea how or why and doesn't care. Her remote is a discontinued model though (sigh). Anyway, maybe it'll be worth my while to make another call to tech support and ask about key mapping. Maybe a more advanced model might allow this function. Thanks for the spark!
You might be able to temporarily swap the up and down keys to left and right using a utility like the one described on this page:
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/map-any-key-to-any-key-on -windows-xp-vista/
Thanks so much for all of the help. I can think of many situations where I can use the key mapping functions available by the use of SharpKeys2 as well as a couple of other programs I "discovered" in my recent travels (KeyTweak + AutoHotKey). Even better for my situation here, I just received a more advanced model Keyspan remote (PR-Pro3) which handles Flash presentations just fine - I have no idea why - and neither did their tech support, apparently. Anyway, the PR-EZ1's going back to Newegg and I'm happily wirelessly practicing my script for my Flash presentation - working remote in hand! Take care.

2013 Tournament Breakdown: Southern Conference
March 8-11 U.S. Cellular Center (Asheville, N.C.) | Bracket
Davidson may have disappointed a bit in some high-profile nonconference matchups, but it steamrolled through the SoCon during league play. The question is simple: Can anyone stop Davidson from getting the auto bid and immediately becoming a "team your 4-seed doesn't want" in the NCAAs? Georgia Southern is the only league foe to beat the Wildcats (somehow winning by 13 at home before losing last week at Davidson by 35) and that could be Davidson's quarterfinal opponent, but 3-seed College of Charleston is the best upset choice.
Key Matchup: No. 2 Elon vs. No. 3 College of Charleston (possible semifinal)
Elon takes a ton of threes. Charleston doesn't let you take many of them at all. Something would have to give. Elon is the 2-seed only because it was division champ of the non-Davidson North division while Charleston finished second behind the Wildcats in the South, even with a better league record than Elon. C of C is the better team, so an upset here could make it even more likely for Davidson to dance.
Team to Watch: Western Carolina?
The top three seeds are way better than the rest of the league, so if you need a super darkhorse, how about the team playing very close to its campus, and on the non-Davidson side of the bracket. If the Catamounts beat The Citadel in their opener, they draw C of C in a quarterfinal with designs on an upset that could change the dynamic of the event. They lost by two at home in the teams' only matchup.
Hottest Storyline: Charleston's last dance
The College of Charleston is leaving the SoCon after this season, moving on to the Colonial. Davidson earlier opted not to leave the league. Think there's a quiet preference around the conference as to who wins the auto bid this season? Just wondering.
The pick: Davidson
Jake Cohen, De'mon Brooks and Co. have proven their chops. They should be able to navigate three more games, only one of which will be against a team anywhere near their caliber.

Should social science researchers embrace social media and, if we do, what are the implications for our methods and practice?
We know that social media tools are increasingly being used to as part of the social sciences. The nature of these tools means that it is a fast changing environment, with new practices emerging all the time. Despite this, there is limited interaction between practitioners or synthesis of different methods. There are also few opportunities to reflect on the implications of social media tools for our subjects of study, methods and ethics. Our network of methodological innovation brings together academics, researchers and research stakeholders in a community of practice with members drawn from the cutting-edge of academia, market research and applied social research.
The network is led by NatCen Social Research, SAGE and the Oxford Internet Institute, and funded by the NCRM. It's hosted over several different platforms, including Methodspace, Blogspot, Twitter and YouTube, and will run over 12 months.

But these weren't the type of ears usually seen in a library.
They belonged to two white American Eskimo dogs, Rosie and Sierra, who patiently listened to young Abigail read her book.
Rosie, Sierra and their owner, Judy Somers, a retired medical technologist from Reno, were at library on April 9 as part of the Paws 2 Read program.
"It's great, Abigail loves being with the dog and reading with the dog," said Tina, Abigail's mother and co-owner of Yogurt Beach yogurt shop. "It's a good program and we like to support the library, we'll come back in the future."
Paws 2 Read is run by Paws 4 Love, a Reno-based therapy dog group.
Paws 4 Love is a volunteer organization started in the late 1990s that visits hospitals, senior living facilities, psychiatric facilities, schools and other places where needed, said Paws 4 Love volunteer Mary Ann McAuliffe, a director for development at the American Lung Association.
In recent years there has been increasing evidence that interaction with dogs can have a therapeutic effect for physical or mental illnesses.
According to a 1998 Virginia Commonwealth University study, mentally ill patients had significantly lower anxiety after once-a-week therapy sessions with a dog. Therapy dogs also have beneficial effects for elderly patients in long-term care, a 2001 study in The Journals of Gerontology reported.
Paws 2 Read began about a decade ago in cooperation with the Washoe County Library System. Paws 2 Read brings books and therapy dogs who will listen to children read in libraries and schools, Somers said.
In Paws 2 Read sessions, children pick out a book from the library's stacks and then read the book to a dog under the supervision of a volunteer or a parent.
"They say that the kid's reading ability will increase from 40 to 50 percent," McAuliffe said. "Since pets don't judge the child's reading ability, it provides an atmosphere that's safe and they don't feel like people are judging their performance."
After the child is done reading, he or she can pick out a book to keep from a selection provided by Paws 2 Read, McAuliffe said.
Paws 2 Read volunteers go to libraries with three or four teams — each team is made up of a volunteer and their dog, McAuliffe said. Volunteers also go to schools upon request.
Somers estimated that usually 20 children attend each Paws 2 Read session, which means the program serves as many as 120 children a week in six Washoe County libraries.
"We've had parents tell us that there are children whose reading skills have improved since they've been going to Paws 2 Read," said Tamera Cirrincione, South Valleys managing librarian. "Overall, the numbers here have been up for our library. We've seen an increase in the use of facilities in general and Paws 2 Read has aided in that."
Unlike support and guide dogs for the blind and disabled, Somers said therapy dogs usually don't need much training.
"We're looking for non-aggressive dogs that are not hyper and are approachable to strangers," Somers said. "They shouldn't bark too much or be frightened by loud noises. Basically they have to be a nice, calm dog."
To qualify for Paws 2 Read, dogs have to be at least 1 year old and tested for aggressiveness. Obedience training is encouraged but not necessary, Somers said.
Paws 4 Love has 100 volunteers with dogs of different breeds. McAuliffe couldn't give a firm number, but she said Paws 4 Love teams serve more than 100 people a month in hospitals, nursing homes and psychiatric centers.
For times and dates of Paws 2 Read sessions at Sparks, South Valleys, Northwest Reno, North Valleys, Spanish Springs and Sierra View libraries, go to the Washoe County Library System website at www.washoecounty.us/library.

The Small GTPase ARF6 Stimulates β-Catenin Transcriptional Activity During WNT5A-Mediated Melanoma Invasion and Metastasis
Allie H. Grossmann1,2,3*, Jae Hyuk Yoo3,4*, James Clancy5, Lise K. Sorensen3, Alanna Sedgwick5, Zongzhong Tong6, Kirill Ostanin6, Aaron Rogers1, Kenneth F. Grossmann7,8, Sheryl R. Tripp9, Kirk R. Thomas3,7, Crislyn DSouza-Schorey5, Shannon J. Odelberg3,6,7, and Dean Y. Li3,4,7,10,11

Abstract: β-Catenin has a dual function in cells: fortifying cadherin-based adhesion at the plasma membrane and activating transcription in the nucleus. We found that in melanoma cells, WNT5A stimulated the disruption of N-cadherin and β-catenin complexes by activating the guanosine triphosphatase adenosine diphosphate ribosylation factor 6 (ARF6). Binding of WNT5A to the Frizzled 4–LRP6 (low-density lipoprotein receptor–related protein 6) receptor complex activated ARF6, which liberated β-catenin from N-cadherin, thus increasing the pool of free β-catenin, enhancing β-catenin–mediated transcription, and stimulating invasion. In contrast to WNT5A, the guidance cue SLIT2 and its receptor ROBO1 inhibited ARF6 activation and, accordingly, stabilized the interaction of N-cadherin with β-catenin and reduced transcription and invasion. Thus, ARF6 integrated competing signals in melanoma cells, thereby enabling plasticity in the response to external cues. Moreover, small-molecule inhibition of ARF6 stabilized adherens junctions, blocked β-catenin signaling and invasiveness of melanoma cells in culture, and reduced spontaneous pulmonary metastasis in mice, suggesting that targeting ARF6 may provide a means of inhibiting WNT/β-catenin signaling in cancer.

EOS Bodies / Re: EOS 70D a New Benchmark in ISO Performance?« on: July 30, 2013, 12:23:12 PM »
the 5D3 does have a dedicated AF processor, like the 7D and the 1Dx. thats why these cameras have superior AF.
the 70D indeed has at least one dedicated AF processor... for CMOS AF.
check the interview here: http://www.learn.usa.canon.com/resources/articles/2013/eos_70d_interview_with_developers.shtml, page 4, top of right column.
Miyanari: "With the AF signal of Dual Pixel CMOS AF, there was twice the amount of information as the number of effective pixels that lined the sensor. This process could be performed with just the imaging processor; however, we believed it would be too much to ask, so a dedicated IC was developed. By establishing an IC for the role of preparation so the imaging processor could process one after the other, high-speed, optimized processing was made possible."
so, the digic 5+ is capable of handling such that computing capacity, I don't think that a separate AF processor should be used, but if they use one for CMOS AF, they might applied the other for the conventional AF.

During the past year, Chicago listeners have heard trumpeter Victor Garcia in more musical contexts than any single player could be expected to master.
He hit hard in drummer Dana Hall's band at the Green Mill last month; debuted his own feisty, full-throttle septet at the University of Chicago's Logan Center last September; explored music of Melba Liston in saxophonist Geof Bradfield's epic suite "Melba!" at the Green Mill last September; and co-led the muscular Chicago Afro Latin Jazz Ensemble (CALJE) with pianist Darwin Nogueraat the Pritzker Pavilion during the Chicago Jazz Festival last summer.
And that's just a fraction of his itinerary, which also has included pop, gospel, musical theater, Afro-Cuban and what-not.

The man clearly is difficult to pigeon-hole.
"People have told me that I'm kind of a chameleon, that I try to fit in," says Garcia, who will be playing a characteristically busy, stylistically far-flung lineup of performances starting Friday evening.
"Tonight," adds Garcia, speaking by phone as he traveled the East Coast, "I'm playing lead trumpet in a (theatrical) show – it's pop stuff, gospel. My iPod is on 24/7."
Garcia's constant listening – and performing – have made him one an increasingly ubiquitous Chicago sideman and leader, but what's critical to note is that he sounds remarkably different in each setting. Though some listeners may be inclined to perceive him as primarily a Latin trumpeter, his work with drummer Hall, saxophonist Bradfield and others has shown him to be quite adaptable, at least as far as matters of idiom and musical language are concerned.
Which is exactly what Garcia, 30, has been working toward for many years.
"When I first learned jazz, Darwin had a video of Chick Corea – an instructional piano video," recalls Garcia, referring to pianist Darwin Noguera, probably Garcia's closest musical collaborator.
"And in the (accompanying) booklet, there were all these rules for music. And the only one I remember is: Don't try to stand out in the musical situation – try to fit in and make the music sound good.
"It meant there's more to this than just being able to play your instrument. It's so deep – it's really a lifelong process of learning.
"So now I look for different things. Technical ability is amazing, but music is more important. Look at Gonzalo (Rubalcaba): He shows that once you achieve technical ability, that is only the beginning."
Cuban pianist Rubalcaba indeed has ventured far beyond the technical brilliance of his early work to create an original music that draws deeply on classical-piano traditions. If that's the model that Garcia is choosing, he's certainly aiming high.
But some of Garcia's most interesting work emanates not just from his horn but from his pen. The original arrangements he penned for his aforementioned septet ingeniously layered complex scoring for four horns atop Dan Trudell's fat sound on organ, Charles Heath's eruptions on drums and Scott Hesse's chordal inventions on guitar.
For Garcia's Monday-night engagement at the Green Mill, he'll be leading his Organ Quintet, which amounts to a stripped down version of the septet, with Garcia and tenor saxophonist Rocky Yera holding down the front line, and Trudell, Hesse and Heath keeping rhythms pressing forward. Even without the alto saxophone and trombone, says Garcia, the purpose will remain the same: to wrap multiple lines around Trudell's pulsing organ work.
"Having written so much for big band, I appreciate the possibilities of counterpoint, counter-melody, call-and-response," says Garcia. "You hear the power, you hear the soul, and when everyone comes together, it brings the emotion of the music even more."
On Friday and Saturday nights, Garcia will be working in an entirely different setting, playing with saxophonist Scott Burns at Andy's Jazz Club and reveling in the idiosyncrasies of Burns' writing.
"It's his group, and it's really beautiful music," says Garcia. "Not only is he an amazing tenor saxophone player, but he has a unique sound and harmonic approach that feels so fresh. Every time I listen to it, I get inspired.
"He's such a sophisticated writer. He writes unusual songs. Every chord has all sorts of (harmonic) alterations."
In the meantime, Garcia is doing a great deal of writing himself. He's penning new scores for CALJE, to be recorded later this year ("the old repertoire is played out," he says); and he has been crafting arrangements for the septet, as well ("I have a friend who's crazy enough to want to record us").

shorttt nn the shoulder
September 15, 2013
I like it but its really short ... and its more of a "off the shoulder" shirt then a shirt ... I can't even where a bra because my straps would show ... umm I wont buy this again ... I'll just give it to me sister or something
Pros:Its definitely a crop top See through no shoulders
Cons:Almost everything
3.5 Stars
I would recommend this item to a friend.
Good Crop Top
August 11, 2013
This crop top was really inexpensive. This was true to size and very comfortable. It rides up so you have to adjust it but it's not a big deal. The white is sheer so you have to wear a nude bra. The material is very breathable but after a while it shows wear.
Pros:True to size Comfortable Stretchy Light
Cons:Rides up Sheer

Must have
July 22, 2013
I was skeptical so i bought a white one. It goes with everything. I am petite but have a good breast size so i bought a small .im a 34D. i live the way it fits. im definately buying another one
Pros:very nice and versatile
3.5 Stars
July 20, 2013
I ordered two of these tops and am really disappointed. they are so sheer as in see through (terrible quality) and far to short (yes I realize they're suppose to be short) the top barely covers the bottom of my breasts (and I am not a big girl size s/ xs 32C) defiantly crosses the trashy line. expect your bandeau to hang out the bottom of this shirt
Cons:horrible quality waste of money

July 11, 2013
This crop top is nice but it is REALLY short. I am a 36D and this could just cover up my chest. It is still cute but it will be hard to find an undershirt or bandeau for this shirt because it is a tad sheer. This is really nice to wear with some high waisted bottoms. The sleeves are not tight and the shirt is breathable though it is really short. I imagine this looks really nice on girls with smaller chest.

Nice !
May 25, 2013
I just received my shirt in the mail today. I ordered the yellow crop top in a small. I'm petite and have a small chest but the shirt makes me feel sexy honestly lol & it goes great with my camo leggings :)
Pros:True to size Looks exactly like the picture Tight fitting
Cons:Material is a tad see through Seems like it wouold rip easy

Got the small in red....not see through, soft material.....I like, want the blue one
Pros:crop, solid, stretchy, soft
Rockville, MD
3.5 Stars
I would recommend this item to a friend.
Perfect for Clubbing
February 24, 2013
Yes, this shirt is very sheer. I bought the Black & Mocha color in Medium. I wish i had bought size LARGE--i would say this shirt is not true to size. But the shirts still cover my entire bust area, so they do their job.
Pros:totally crop, perfect w/ high-waist pants
Cons:sheer not true to size
Okoyah B
Memphis, TN
3.5 Stars
December 30, 2012
I got this in white for the winter to wear with high-waisted jeans, and it is NOT winter material at all. It is so sheer that even my nude bra is visible. I rated 3 stars only because it was not as expected. I will be exchanging it for the higher priced cropped top just for the thickness. You get what you pay for people.
Pros:Stretchy Soft Good for Spring/Summer
Cons:Too Sheer Not for Winter

Thursday, April 24, 2014
By David Espo
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON – Battle-fatigued and suddenly bipartisan, the House voted Thursday night to ease across-the-board federal spending cuts and prevent future government shutdowns, acting after Speaker John Boehner unleashed a stinging attack on tea party-aligned conservative groups campaigning for the measure's defeat.
House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio, left, joined by House Budget Committee Chairman Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., takes reporters' questions, on Capitol Hill in Washington, Wednesday, Dec. 11, 2013. Battle-fatigued and suddenly bipartisan, the House voted Thursday night to ease across-the-board federal spending cuts and prevent future government shutdowns.

The legislation, backed by the White House, cleared on a vote of 332-94, with lopsided majorities of Republicans and Democrats alike voting in favor. Final passage is expected next week in the Senate.
Maine Rep. Mike Michaud voted in favor, while Rep. Chellie Pingree voted against.
The events in the House gave a light coating of bipartisan cooperation to the end of a bruising year of divided government – memorable for a partial government shutdown, flirtation with an unprecedented Treasury default and gridlock on immigration, gun control and other items on President Barack Obama's second-term agenda.
In the end, the debate in the House was tame by comparison with Boehner's criticism of Republican-favoring outside groups that at times have been more of an obstacle to him than Democrats.
"I think they're misleading their followers," the Republican speaker said of the groups, whom he pointedly also blamed for last fall's politically damaging partial government shutdown. "I think they're pushing our members in places where they don't want to be. And frankly, I just think that they've lost all credibility" by opposing legislation before the details are known.
He mentioned no organizations by name, although it appeared he was referring to Heritage Action and Club for Growth, both of which have sought to push the House further to the right than the Republican leadership has been willing to go.
Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin., a chief Republican architect of the deal, made the conservatives' case for support. The measure "reduces the deficit by $23 billion. It does not raise taxes and it cuts spending in a smarter way," said the Budget Committee's chairman, whose handiwork could well be challenged in the 2016 Republican presidential primaries.
The second-ranking Democrat, Rep. Steny Hoyer of Maryland, joined other party leaders in swinging behind the measure, even though he noted that he represents 62,000 federal workers and said future government employees will pay higher pensions costs because of the bill. "This agreement is better than the alternative" of ever deeper across-the-board cuts, he said.
The agreement, negotiated by Ryan and Democratic Sen. Patty Murray of Washington – and endorsed by the White House – would set overall spending levels for the current budget year and the one that begins on Oct. 1, 2014. That straightforward action would probably eliminate the possibility of another government shutdown and reduce the opportunity for the periodic brinkmanship of the kind that has flourished in the current three-year era of divided government.
The measure would erase $63 billion in across-the-board cuts set for January and early 2015 on domestic and defense programs, leaving about $140 billion in reductions in place. On the other side of the budget ledger, it projects savings totaling $85 billion over the coming decade, enough to show a deficit reduction of about $23 billion over the 10-year period.
The cuts would be replaced with savings generated from dozens of sources. Among them are higher airline security fees, curbs on the pension benefits of new federal workers and additional costs for corporations whose pensions are guaranteed by the federal government. The measure also would slow the annual cost-of-living increase in benefits for military retirees under the age of 62.
The bill includes a 90-day provision that postpones a 20 percent cut in reimbursements for doctors who treat Medicare patients and replaces it with an increase of one-half of one percent

Sylvania Campus
12000 SW 49th Ave. Portland, OR 97219 | 971-722-6111 | campus map | directions | TriMet | map of accessible building features
The Sylvania Campus is located just 10 minutes from downtown in southwest Portland, nestled between Tigard and Lake Oswego. The campus opened in 1968 and rests on Mount Sylvania, bordered by a Douglas fir forest and several quiet neighborhoods.
Sylvania's facilities were upgraded through the 2000 bond with a new technology building for needed computer labs and high-tech classrooms and renovations to the HT Building. In addition, the south classroom structure provides additional space for the college's public safety office and plant services. The cornerstones of the campus are the library and performing arts center, both built in 1994. The library features the latest in learning resources while the nearby performing arts center is a fully equipped theater and dance venue.
The Sylvania Campus is home for the PCC nursing and dental programs, which have national reputations for excellence. Sylvania also provides college transfer, professional and technical programs, and developmental education. Sylvania is home to machine manufacturing technology, early childhood education, radiology, fitness technology, graphic design, sign language interpreting, computer technologies, automotive technology, and more. The Sylvania Campus also provides a track, swimming pool, weight rooms and a large gymnasium.
The campus is known for its annual winter powwow, which attracts more than 1,000 community members for Native foods, dancing, and arts and crafts. It houses the college's Multicultural Center, which provides leadership opportunities and cultural education to its students. Recently, Sylvania has expanded its green ties by developing the renewable energy option through electronics engineering, sustainable design techniques in the interior design program and has created out a learning garden for students to learn latest techniques.
It has the largest of the three campuses by enrollment, Sylvania served 31,868 students in the 2012-2013 academic year, and is led by Campus President Linda Gerber.
Sylvania Campus implemented Good Neighbor Zones where smokers can gather to smoke and not be issued citations. Visit the Tobacco Policy page for more information.

UCC will bring Christmas Carol to life musically; proceeds go to Make-A-Wish In a rehearsal session for the upcoming production of A Christmas Carol, old Ebenezer Scrooge (Chuck Thatcher), left, looks on as his younger self (Scott Taylor), right, talks to his lady friend Belle (Ashley Thompson), center, who is about to leave him. The scene is also watched by the Ghost of Christmas Past (Rebecca Gehm), in the background. A Christmas Carol will be presented Dec. 15, 16 and 18 at 7 p.m. and Dec. 17 at 3 p.m. at the United Church of Christ. "God bless us, everyone!"
Tiny Tim's classic line will echo through the sanctuary of the Vermillion United Church of Christ, Congregational as the church presents a musical version of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol Dec. 15-18.
In addition to providing seasonal entertainment, all proceeds earned from the play will help an area child get her wish to take a Disney cruise through the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
Performances are Dec. 15, 16 and 18 at 7 p.m., and Dec. 17 at 3 p.m. at the United Church of Christ, 226 E. Main Street, Vermillion. Area families with connections to Make-A-Wish have been invited to a dress rehearsal on Dec. 14.
Tickets may be purchased at Davis Pharmacy, Nook 'n Cranny and the United Church of Christ with a $5 donation for a child's ticket and a $10 donation for an adult ticket.
Over 70 church members and friends have devoted hours of time to this production, making it a true community project. With the church sanctuary completely transformed by construction of a large stage, the cast and orchestra will take the audience back in time to Victorian England, reintroducing them to Scrooge, the Crachit family and the ghosts of Christmas Past, Christmas Present and Christmas Future.
"Anthony Burbach and George Schlenker have spent hours transforming the front of the church into a two-level theatre, large enough to hold the 70 players," said Jeanne Dahlin, musical director.
The ambitious project is directed by Buffie Main.
"Of course, the story is connected with Christmas themes and it seemed like there is also a great connection with the Make-A-Wish idea, so we had to do it," she said. "We also have a lot of congregation members with connections to the old community summer musical, so this is a logical project for us. We hope families will make the play part of their Christmas plans."
The cast includes all ages: from 5-years-old, to teenagers and college students, to 70-years-old. Some of the musical numbers, adapted from the Muppett Christmas Carol, feature the children's choir.
Among others in the cast, University of South Dakota Law School Professor Chuck Thatcher is Scrooge. The spirits are played by Don Dahlin, Rebecca Gehm, Chris Hoover and Gene Brinkmeyer. The Crachit family is Steve Miller, Jill Tyler, four of their children, Sam, Caleb, Leah and Seth as Tiny Tim, Nicole Orr and Madison Miller.
"The church elected to do the project as a fund raiser for Make-A-Wish and specifically to sponsor a wish for at least one child," Dahlin said. "Any proceeds earned in excess of the child's wish will be donated to the Make-A-Wish Foundation's general fund."

How using mass-transit in Los Angeles can save you $12,000 a year
There's some buzz around LA about a U.S. Census report that shows Angelenos might not have the country's worst commutes. This is from the LA Times:
It took commuters in the L.A.-Long Beach-Santa Ana area an average of 28.1 minutes to get to work in 2010, ranking 17th nationally, according to data released Thursday from the American Community Survey's latest one-year estimate....Surprisingly, topping the list were areas with robust rail networks and transit systems such as New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island, which ranked first and takes drivers an average of 34.6 minutes, and Chicago-Joliet-Naperville, which clocked in at 30.7 minutes and ranked fourth. The national average was 25.3."
That sounds counter-intuitive: How can regions with well-established mass-transit have longer commutes? Simple: subways and buses make more stops.

6422 Baltimore National Pike, Baltimore, MD | Directions 2122839.28567 -76.75796
M-Su 24hr
Neighborhoods: Catonsville
You gotta be in cahootz if you gave this place a good rating – Ok... Have you heard of the "rack room" rate? Well, I evidently got the "RAT" room rate. The rate was cheap enough but I definitly paid for what I got. Where to begin? 1) Rooms exit to the outside of the building...not a good sign. 2) The clerk sat behind bullet proof glass...uhm? 3) The maintenance man looked like an Indian zombie. 4) Toilet was not cleaned before hand and not cleaned during my stay 5) Sink was falling... caulking was falling off 6) wall paper in the bathroom was falling off to reveal a hole...which was stuffed with toilet paper 7) A RAT!!!! Let me say it again. A rodent about 8 inches long ran across my floor while I was working in the room. 8) After I made the manager give me sticky / rat traps.... low and behold a roach walked over my keyboard. People.... seriously. Normally, I wouldn't make a big deal out of a cheap hotel. However, let this hotel die. Don't truck business with these people. Lastly, after I complained... the clerk said "What do you want me to do?" Sleep somewhere else. It would be much healthier.
I love the staff, I go all the time! – Great pool. Great breakfast. Good for the money! The really like Sanjay the front desk clerk. He made sure my stay went well.
Rewarding frequent-stay program and affordable prices make this budget hotel a prime choice for road-weary travelers. – In Short
This wallet-friendly hotel chain offers basic amenities for vacationers, truckers and business types. Free parking includes tractor-trailer spaces at most locations (the others have bobtail parking); amenities include 24-hour wake-up service and information on area entertainment and restaurants. Because Knights Inn hotels are part of the same group that includes Days Inn, Howard Johnson, AmeriHost, Ramada, Super 8, Travelodge and Wingate Inn, signing up for the "TripRewards" is an essential, economical move for frequent travelers.

It's always a nice surprise when an indie game studio appears out of nowhere with games nearing completion and a good head on their shoulders. Xpod Games know that just having a game almost finished is only the beginning to being a successful studio. While it is a major step, if no one knows about your game then how will they purchase it? With that in mind, Xpod Games had a brilliant idea; what better way is there to promote your games and studio then to show off not just one, but two very different titles at this year's Eurogamer Expo.
The first of two games is a retro style arcade shooter and puzzler that showcases a 3D projected line-art style by the name of Genix. The game is set to come with online multiplayer with LAN functionality as well as a level editor for added replayability to make those retro gamers happy. Genix is set to be released on the PC on the first week of October and then on XBLA a few weeks later.
Hypoxia on the other hand is a complete 180 from Genix. A dark 3D action survival horror game platformer where you take the role of a maintenance technician named Vex. Wrapped up in a sinister plot to absorb her existence (whatever that means), you must escape from hell and confront the nemesis before you are trapped forever. Your only weapon is a device that allows Vex to shift between dimensions, hopefully allowing her to escape with her life. Hypoxia is set for a Christmas release this year.
Those heading to the Eurogamer expo will have the chance to talk to the team at their booth in the Rezzed quarter. There you will be able to get a hands on with playable builds of both of Xpod's upcoming titles. You can also keep up to date on any news on Xpod Games at their website.

Summary of Unbreakable Summary of Unbreakable Reviews for Unbreakable An Excerpt from Unbreakable
The notorious Dalton Gang once ran wild through their home town of Crow Hill, Texas. Now they own the run-down Dalton Ranch--and they work hard to keep it up. But when the right women come along, they still know how to play hard too...
Casper Jayne turned his back on Crow Hill nearly 20 years ago for a career in the professional bull riding circuit. Now he's back--and Faith Mitchell is having a tough time thinking about anything else. She's had a crush on him since high school, when he was part of her brother's gang--and off limits. Since then, Faith has learned not to take risks. And Casper's reckless, hard-living ways are causing her to think twice about trying to make the fantasies she has for this powerfully physical man to come true.
Casper said he'd wait for a sign--but Faith is determined not to give him the satisfaction. Then an unexpected encounter finally penetrates her reserve, and the two of them ignite an intense passion. Faith finds herself holding on for a wild ride that breaks all the rules. But when the hot affair burns out of control, Faith will have to learn to take the reins...

Project Aristo
About Us
The core mission of The Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence (AI2) is to achieve scientific breakthroughs by constructing AI systems with reasoning, learning and reading capabilities.
We are working to realize the vision of a "Digital Aristotle" – AI software that utilizes large amounts of knowledge in machine-understandable form to answer questions, explain those answers, and discuss those answers with users.
AI2 will include four key, interlinked elements:
World-class research and development;
Creation of data and resources for the community;
Activities to energize the wider community and help foster breakthroughs;
Support for critical but under-explored research
Project Aristo
Project Aristo
is a major, new initiative towards building knowledgeable machines, focused on semi-automatic knowledge-base construction, natural language processing, large-scale machine reasoning, and question answering. The research goals are to develop techniques for rapidly accumulating knowledge, in particular using "machine reading" techniques over text, and to develop the corresponding technologies for reasoning effectively and explainably with that knowledge.
Engineering and Open Source
AI2 will launch several "incubator" projects with a strong engineering focus, with the goal of creating high-quality AI products (tools, apps, resources) that will feed into AI2's main projects and the broader community. One such project will be a new Open Source initiative, designed to create a robust "scaffolding for AI" by connecting, extending, and streamlining the use of existing and new AI tools.
Community Activities
AI2 plans several community activities to spur technology development, including a student innovators competition, a summer mentoring program for top students, and design workshops for exploring future directions in the field, potentially feeding into AI2's longer-range plans.
Support for External, Critical Research
In addition to its internal activities, AI2 will play a key role in promoting critical, external research from visionary researchers that would otherwise not be conducted, and that AI2 considers central to its mission.
Click here
to see our current team.
We are looking for talented individuals to join
our team
and contribute to AI2's vision. This is an opportunity to be in on the ground floor of a new organization, conduct long-range, groundbreaking research, and work with world-class individuals to have a major impact on the field. We are particularly interested in energetic, inspired researchers with skills in one or more of the following areas: natural language processing; textual entailment; question answering; automatic knowledge-base construction; machine reasoning; knowledge representation; machine learning; semantics; explanation. We are also strongly interested in individuals with world-class software engineering skills looking for a new and exciting challenge.

Ursula Meier's "Sister"
Original content is a novelty these days; when it works it's exhilarating. Ursula Meier's Swiss "Sister" (which won the Silver Bear at Berlin) is a knockout, skillfully crafted and moving. It features Lea Seydoux's best-yet performance and a star-making turn from Kacey Mottey Klein as a professional 12-year old ski-resort thief. The story is best discovered in the theater as it unfolds. Fans of the Dardenne brothers' work, especially last year's "The Kid with the Bike," will likely fall for this one as well.
At the LA Swiss Consulate reception for the film on Saturday before the film's Monday bow at LAFF, I interviewed Meier and Klein (watch the video below, aided by a French translator), who has the talent and smile to become a movie star. Adopt Films' Jeff Lipsky plans to release the film in October, complete with an Oscar campaign for supporting actor, screenplay, director and cinematography (Agnes Godard; a female DP has never been nominated). They'd be justified to push Seydoux for supporting actress as well.
"Sister" is Meier's second feature. Her first, "Home," was nominated for three Cesars and participated in Cannes' L'Atelier du Festival (works in progress program) in 2006. Watch an exclusive clip of "Sister" and our interview below, in which she addresses the no-women-directors-in-competition-at-Cannes controversy:
